Thanks , and yes, of course I'm doing a 2.1 ROM. I'm waiting until the offical one though. But I gotta tell you, the HTC 2.1 beta builds are VERY fast lol! Might not need speed upgrades!

I was running pancake before I move to the 2.1 section of the plane.
gumbo 1.5c with full senseUI has been my rom of choice
Bikcmp, I don't think I ever used your ROM.. I might of but my memory is still short term.
Gumbo 1.5c BARE was my favorite though.
pancake without sense is a super fast & stable rom...still running it as we speak.
TTG
not the newest one
see sig i mainly use TTG's tweaked to my liking
pancake is my choice. Nice and fast, super stable too.
Gumbo and fresh
Pancake 0.1 sense
Rolled my own 1.5. Basically took Modaco's 2.2 w/ Gumbo kernel and started editing APKs to update colors, transparencies, screens, etc. to my liking.
Now running DarchLegend V2 and started editing APKs yet again to make it my own.
Just moved to Gumbo1.5c bare..... i am lovin it.....its fast.....by far my fav 1.5 ROM
EASILY pancake, nothing comes close... i just added some visual elements that made it my own, but all the hard work was done for me thanks to bikcmp!
now i'm waiting patiently for the bikcmp's official 2.1 ROM-lease.
R
I run Gumbo w/sense.
Modaco was good too.
Pancake no sense wouldn't work for me. I forget why.
I stay fresh to death.... Lol

Hey,
I'm coming from JF 1.5 and since he has stopped developing I thought I better go to a new ROM, what do you guys recommend? How stable are the Hero ROMs for every day use?
Thanks
I would go with the latest cyanogen stable mod which is 4.04.1 one I believe, there are too differant threads for expermental and stable. My opinion is that I would not use a hero for daily use, too slow, pretty but some people say they have fast heroes
I would try either cyan or xrom. If you want to try hero I would go with jacxheroski but no matter what size swap you have you will get SOME lag and calls will come in slowly, it is all personal opinion though so you will have to see what fits you best.
I went from JF 1.51, to a Rogers, and then went from that to Cyanogen. I'd go to Cyanogen and stay there. It works well and is very fast.
Cyanogen is where it's at. I'm using his 4.1.1 experimental with no probs, but the stable is most likely safest 4.0.4.
whats a rom? is it like a firmware?
I suggest xRom, Quick, simple, easy to use and fast as hell.

hero roms are fast and stable enough(for some people) however the maintainance and cutbacks such as no bluetooth, dim leds , and not being able to have many apps running are not worth it(for me at least) if you want a good stable rom i would recommend any of cyans stable roms however on weekends i do usually flash to a hero rom to see the progress that has been made
and yes a rom is like a firmware
A rom is a modified build of android based off a stock system with tons of good stuff like superuser and unicorns. The word roms were used back when we were are little kids using windows mobile and it just has stuck with us. I would have suggested xrom but that requires the danger spl but since it was asked what's a rom, I didn't think it was a good idea
Ps.. yes I said unicorns, mine has unicorns, if your's doesn't, then you got ripped off.......I would ask your rom dev for a refund
I finally took the plunge Sunday night, going from JF1.51 to CM4.0.4, and I couldn't be happier. It's like a whole new phone!
I installed the latest CM recovery image manually, then installed CM Update from the market, ran it, let it do its thing, and viola!
So I havent been on this forum since the Fresh1.1 rom update at the beginning of this year.
I have seen there are a bunch of new roms available.
Which rom is now the most popular and stable 2.1 rom kinda like how Fresh1.1 was at the time?
This entire forum is an Aprils Fools joke, there have been no ROMs released since Fresh 1.1
yea dude froyo is the **** makes 1.5 feel like a one of those free calculators you get from the bank
Lol im that new to the forums to know that Froyo is an April fools joke

Check out DC or DarchLegend, they are both great roms.
I'm using DarchLegend, I've had a better experience with DL than DamageControl. DarchVanilla is pretty good too.

Feels like it was supposed to be on my Hero from the factory.
so i am just wondering what will happen if say the G2 does get gingerbread and I am Running CM 6.1 RC2... will i get the update, or will i have to go back to the stock rom to get it to work with the phone... assuming CM 6.1 wont work with 2.3 right away?
I agree OTAs are always blocked especially in CM6, I wonder if Gingerbread will be called CM7?
since CM has been going up in version for every other release of android then i would say it is safe to say that gingerbread will become CM7

Pointless argument:
True. But Eclair (2.0/1) was 6.0, and Froyo (2.2) is 6.1. So if Gingerbread is really 2.3 as suggested, then it'd make sense that it be 6.2.
Either way, it doesn't matter

No, you're wrong.
Donut was CM4.
Eclair was CM5.
Froyo is CM6. When cyanogen updated to 2.2.1, that may have been why they changed it to 6.1, don't quote me on it though.
So it makes sense that Gingerbread will be CM7
haha whoops, got my version numbers mixed up for a bit. It's been forever since I wasn't on cm6. My bad
To answer the OP: yes, ota's are blocked in cm. A rooted build will be out within the next day of release, and might work over cm without a wipe. Sadly, cm7 on the other hand won't be out for a little while after gingerbread source is released.

I have the same question... But the difference is that Im running Virtuous 0.7.0 (I really like the Sense on my G2)... so, If Gingerbread is released... Will apply to my phone, even if im running that awesome Virtuous ROM? or I have to do what @aad4321 replied earlier??
I wouldn't worry. A CM Gingerbread build will be out long before a carrier OTA...unless you're on a Nexus One!
Hi - my Hero's !
Are U looking for a real hero ROM?
I totally agree with the quote from rdejager @ villainrom.co.uk/forum :
We can all face it - the hero is not made for 2.2 and even more 2.3 .... Our phones are just not made for 2.3 sense and 2.2 sense .... 2.1 sense roms run fine on the hero. and you can really see that they are made for it, cuss everything just works for it, the hardware is made to the software...

So - do U want to use the power of our long development journey in a fresh ROM?(based on WWE Android 2.1 with htc sense 2.1)
Good News:
-> Repack ROM from elelinux based on stock ROM 3.36.405.1!
-> VillainROM v13.0 Release * WWE * Android 2.1 *
-> other 2.1 roms
How do U tweak them? How du U like them?
Thankx for any helpful suggestions!
http://www.ekg-clan.de/pasta/hrdb/index.php?site=a21 choose the one you like most they are all good. but if you want only one named: Cronos 2.1.4.1 Sense Eclair
@iPasta: Thankx for the link - nice overview!
Like to try a 2.1 SenseROM again after spending a couple of months on Ginger & Froyo.
At first I want a speedy and stable build.
I have just tried to flash 7.0 v1.0 (Elelinux) - and no, it is still noticeably slower than Elelinux-6.2.0-RC0-Hero-Speedmachine rom (6.2). Slightly faster that 7.0 v0.9, but still far beyond 2.2. So; is it possible that a 2.1 feels again more faster?
Will report back my impressions - if U like!
I would suggest Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM. It is, apart of Cronos, the latest updated 2.1 ROM, and is by far smaller in size (nearly 30 MB!). In addition FlyKernel-12a is a good choice
@Krizp0 : Thankx! So:
Do U agree with:
"After a long time playing with 2.2-non-sense-ROM's, I returned to 2.1-Sense.
--> Nothing smoother than 'Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM' with FlyKernel 12a."
Well, I know I went from 2.3 Gingerbread to Mr. Bang's 2.1 Sense ROM and felt very satisfied with the speed and stability of good old 2.1, especially since Sense makes your phone full and not fragmented so you have to download widgets and other things to get it as you want. The only thing you may miss is the new functions and apps that require 2.2+.
Edit: I also encourage you to take a look at Tegro 2.5 RC3, it is very Sense-like, but I haven't tested it.
If you want a rom that is A sense rom 2.1 for the HTC Hero GSM and build for it and that just works 100%.
Use Villainrom 12. You can customize it with their kitchen. It may be old, but that doesnt mean its crap .
I myself flashed FlyKernel 11C BFS over it and it works fine here .

Why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1 / 13) !?
Thankx for the suggestions - looking again for VillainROM (i'm a donator)!
I'm impressed and feel backed in my plan to downgrade to 2.1 sense Rom.
My question now is:
How do we can make "VillainROM 12" or other "2.1" Roms more stripped and tweaked?
What do U recommend?
- FlyKernel 12 / Implement Kernel tweaks.
- OpenGL
- EGL
- Gallery 3D
- Latest Gapps
- Implement HTC Hero OTA update 3.36.405.1
So - why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1) !?
I am trying to implement this OTA into VR12.1.
Will play with the OpenGL things too

Which kernel do U include into 12.1?
So far as I know a modded version of FlyKernel 11C Cuss 12A is buggy, for me it is unstable and I dont like it. now running 11C on Villainrom and well it runs smoother then 12A

Pulsar had a modded version of Flykernel 11C in his Froydvillain release. I was refearing to that.
What did I tweak. well the lockscreen, battery Icon, and I removed like 90% of the apps. and I updated EGL. And well I love it.
Now I am on Flykernel 12A M652-M176-noatime
I got awesome battery life.
I went back to Ginger for a test. and well no that was a no go....
The speed in Villainrom is insane.

RCMix is nice and all, but still even VR12 is bloated but RCMix, man... even if you remove all that crap. You can never get the speed of VR12.
@rdjager: How did you update the EGL in VR12?
Is anyone using any 2.2 froyo with sense??? for everyday use...
if yes how is it??
whats the name of that rom?
ChocolateFroyo Rel2 is the ONLY 2.2 sense rom available but doesnt have a working camera...Development stopped due to this in the first week of january
not true ... there are three 2.2 sense roms on xda but chocolatefroyo is the one with most working stuff.
thanks....i think i'll wait for the villian team with there froyo w/sense rom...i hope it would come soon
not true. i have VILLAINROM 12.0 based on froyo 2.2 with sense is the best rom with sense for the hero. and if you flash the "flykernel-12a" you can do overclock and set up the cpu for 710 mhz!!!!
That's based on Android 2.1 'Eclair' not Froyo
chocolate froyo was fixed the bug of the camera????

As stated few post before, all Android OS 2.2 with Sense (including chocolate froyo) all comes with non working camera. It's not a bug, it's source not available for Sense 2.2 ROM developers.
If it's of anyone's interest on using Sense, VR13 is now available for flashing.
It's still based on Android OS 2.1 (Eclair) though, not OS 2.2 (Froyo).
Ok thanks!!!!!!!! One think.. Can you send me the link to find villainrom 13 please???
I finded it!!!! I´m going to flash villainrom13 on my hero thanksssss
I need help.
Hello! Already i WAS flashed the VILLAINROM V13 based on ECLAIR but someone does not like to me. Anyone can to say to his criterion any stable and current ROM for HERO?THANKS!!!!!
PD: IF CAN POSSIBLE WITH & WITHOUT SENSE PLEASEEEE!!!!
You don't like the current VR13 that you had flashed?
May be you grew bored with Eclair (OS2.1).
You may wish to try flash Froyo (OS2.2) ROMs then, such as
Froyd1.73 by VillainRom, CM6.2 Speedmachine V2 by Elelinux, Elelinux's other Froyo ROMs, Erasmux's Floyo1.2, Radug's TastyFroyo, Cronos Froyo 1.8....
Froyo ROMs should be very stable and suitable for daily use.
If you are adventurous enough, you may try flash GingerBread (OS2.3) ROMs, such as Elelinux's 7RC2 Hero v1.4, CyanogenMod 7 Nightly or Cronos' GB1.9
Try Gingerbread ROMs if you like to try new things but these ROMs at the current stage all still have bugs here and there.
Remember, always Nandroid your current ROM (back up, in case you need to restore back).
Have fun

I love Sense, but as it's stuck on 2.1 (for everything to work), I've been trying various other ROMs.
I'd certainly recommend that you use ROM Manager to backup whatever ROM you're on so you can completely restore your previous (working) ROMs with apps etc.
I'd been using FroydVillain Villiainrom 1.7.2 for a while (very stable - 2.2), but started trying the CM7 ROMs (2.3.3) - the best I've come across is Elelinux-7.0.0-RC2-Hero-v1.5 (2011-03-17):
